Protecting the environment from known sources of pollution isn’t nannyism. That people make poor or lazy choices is more the result of education as to the long term problems caused by plastic bags, their manufacture, use and disposal, particularly disposal. We can’t justify bad behavior by remaining deliberately ignorant of the effects of widespread use of plastic bags.

I have no problem with the proposal to stop the use of one use plastic bags. Husbanding our environment to ensure the health of the environment and thus the health of the people living in it is a no brainer to me. The people in China right now are enjoying their lack of care for the environment.

The problem I have is that this state is dying. The middle class in this state are failing under the burden of our government and our “leaders” chose now to spend their time worrying about plastic bags. We cant even afford groceries to put in the plastic bags anymore… lets quit avoiding that issue first.
